Starliner

Based at Linda Perratt's East Kilbride yard, Starliner is an active member of a training operation that has already sent out 19 winners this season. He was last in the winner's enclosure at Newcastle as recently as last week, on 5 September 2026, suggesting he remains a capable performer at the right track and conditions. His most common partner is jockey Tommie Jakes, though their record together—one win from 13 rides—hints that Starliner may perform equally well with other riders. Recent form tells a mixed story: he finished eighth on his last outing a day ago, but before that showed three placing finishes in four races, including a pair of second-place efforts. This pattern of occasional wins bracketed by steady if unspectacular mid-field efforts is the signature of a horse who has found his level—competitive enough to trouble the judge regularly, but not reliably enough to carry confidence into every race.
